What is PETRONAS WhistleNOW?

PETRONAS WhistleNOW

PETRONAS WhistleNOW is a whistleblowing platform powered by Whispli that enables PETRONAS employees and members of the public to whistleblow and engage in a two-way secured chat through a “Safe Inbox” with the Whistleblowing Secretariat.

What is a “Safe Inbox”?

"Safe Inbox" is a tool that allows you to connect with PETRONAS securely. All reports are anonymous by default, but you can choose to reveal your identity while submitting a report if you wish to. You can also utilize the “Safe Inbox” to communicate with PETRONAS in order to request for updates and/or provide additional information or documents.

How do I create a “Safe Inbox”?

All you need to do is create a username and a password. You may provide your email address later in the settings to receive notifications and to recover your lost password. Neither your username nor your email address will be accessible to PETRONAS unless you have included it in the report.

What happens if I forget my username or password to log in to my “Safe Inbox”?

It is important that you keep a record of your username as not even Whispli will be able to recover it if you lose it. If you forget your password, you will only be able to recover it if you have provided your email address while creating your “Safe Inbox”. Otherwise, you would need to create a new report.

Do I need to create a “Safe Inbox” each time I want to raise a concern?

No. Using the same "Safe Inbox”, you can create multiple reports. To protect your identity, you will be assigned a different system-generated avatar for each Report, and PETRONAS will never be able to identify if reports are coming from the same "Safe Inbox”.

How does PETRONAS WhistleNOW protect my data?

PETRONAS WhistleNOW, powered by Whispli uses high-grade AES256 encryption to protect your data. Your IP address is deleted every time and is never stored on our servers or logs.

What if I do not want to report through PETRONAS WhistleNOW?

Alternatively, you may also submit your disclosure through any of the following channels:

  • Email: whistle@petronas.com
  • Mailbox: P.O Box No. 11646, Pejabat Pos Besar Kuala Lumpur (P.O Box services are only supported by Pos Malaysia Berhad)
